Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 206 Lin Chen: Senior Brother Ant (Second Update)

A martial arts arena!
Jiang Duanchao and Chu Ming stepped back, while Lin Chen and Jiang Cheng took over.

Zhuang Min, Shu Suwan and others stood aside, without any worry on their faces. With Jiang Duanchao and Chu Ming there, even if Lin Chen and Jiang Cheng really got into a fight, they would be able to stop it in the first place.

"Brother Cheng will definitely win."

Chu Xi clenched his fists and muttered softly. Jiang Qing glanced at Chu Xi but did not refute.

No rebuttal needed.

She believed in Junior Brother Lin’s ability.

"Junior Brother Lin, please!"

Jiang Cheng looked at Lin Chen with a smile. Lin Chen knew in his heart that this guy would not take the initiative to attack. After all, he had broken through to the internal organs before him. If he took the initiative to attack, it would seem ungraceful.

"Brother Jiang, please give me some advice."

Lin Chen nodded, his voice still ringing in his ears, his figure shot out like an arrow from a bow. The moment Lin Chen moved, Jiang Cheng's expression became serious, the knotted muscles in his arms suddenly tensed, and his eyes were fixed on the front.

Unfortunately, Lin Chen's speed was faster than he had imagined, especially when he was getting close, his figure disappeared like a ghost.

"not good!"

Jiang Cheng's pupils suddenly shrank, but his reaction was extremely fast. Although he failed to spot Lin Chen's figure, he immediately arched his body, moved to the left, and punched to the front left at the same time.

boom!
Lin Chen appeared just on the left side of Jiang Cheng. The collision of fist and palm raised a cloud of dust on the bluestone slab. Jiang Cheng staggered back three steps.

"What a quick movement!"

Chu Ming, who was watching the fight, had a look of surprise in his eyes. He was not surprised that Lin Chen's strength was comparable to Jiang Cheng's. He was able to leave his name on the Martial Arts Mountain seven times. After entering the realm of internal organ training, he would naturally be much stronger than the average internal organ training warrior. What surprised him was Lin Chen's body movement.

The speed of this movement doesn't seem like something that can be achieved by someone who has just started practicing internal organs. He is able to move his body and change position at such a fast speed.

"It's just okay."

Jiang Duanchao looked calm, Chu Ming curled his lips, "Not bad? Even you didn't have this speed back then."

But there is no way, after all, Lin Chen might be the future son-in-law of Jiang Duanchao, so as a father-in-law, he can say whatever he wants.

On the field!

Lin Chen was also a little surprised by Jiang Cheng's reaction. He was able to capture his body position changes so accurately. This was the body movement he developed after he mastered the Gale Kick.

Indeed, one cannot underestimate the people of the world.

Compared to Lin Chen's surprise, Jiang Cheng was shocked at this moment.

Just now, he didn't find Lin Chen appeared on the left. He was just not sure where Lin Chen was, so he randomly chose a direction to move. It was completely luck that hit the mark.

Lin Chen's speed shocked him, and Lin Chen's strength made him a little unbelievable.

The collision just now made his palms numb. You know, he has been practicing internal organs for two months, and his heart has been completely refined, while Lin Chen has just entered the stage of practicing internal organs, so he is afraid that he has not even finished refining his heart.

"It seems that we can't hold back our strength, otherwise we might overturn."

Lin Chen stood up again and used all his strength to perform the Wind and Cloud Palm. The martial arts arena was filled with the sounds of wind and thunder, and everyone saw the sky full of palm shadows surrounding Jiang Cheng.

boom!
boom!
boom!
In just a few breaths, the two men fought several times. Each time Jiang Cheng took a few steps back, and the bluestone slabs under his feet shattered, stirring up a cloud of rubble.

Throughout the whole process, facing Lin Chen's ghostly figure and terrifying palm power, Jiang Cheng had no power to fight back and could only passively defend.

"Jiangcheng lost."

Chu Ming sighed. Up to now, Jiang Cheng couldn't even touch Lin Chen's body, and he was inferior to Lin Chen in both speed and strength. There was no need to continue this battle.

"Jiang Duanchao, you found a good son-in-law."

"This boy is just average. He is far from being qualified to be my son-in-law."

After Jiang Duanchao said this, Chu Ming fell silent for a moment. He felt that there was no need to continue talking to this guy, otherwise it would only make him feel more uncomfortable.

"Stop it!"

Chu Ming flashed into the field without making any movement, but Lin Chen felt a terrifying force in front of him that stopped him. The same thing happened to Jiang Cheng on the other side.

Jiang Cheng looked pale, glanced at Lin Chen, and said with a wry smile: "Junior Brother Lin is amazing, he deserves to be remembered seven times in Wudao Mountain. I accept my defeat with all my heart."

You have no choice but to accept it.

Jiang Cheng could feel that Lin Chen's palm method was terrifying but his attack was not fierce and sharp. He obviously stopped and saved his face, otherwise he would be defeated even faster.

He is worthy of being called a genius who can rival Senior Pei. He has such strength just after practicing.

"Brother Jiang, I appreciate your concession."

Lin Chen also spoke with a smile. He indeed did not try his best. He only performed the first four moves of the Wind and Cloud Palm.

"You men just do all kinds of fighting and killing all day long. It's better not to plant flowers and plants."

Zhuang Min spoke up. Even though her husband and Chu Ming were bickering, the two families had a very good relationship, and Zhuang Min didn't want to embarrass Jiang Cheng.

"I know that my sister-in-law loves flowers and plants, so I brought a few pots of flower and plant seeds with me this time. Look at my memory, I almost forgot about it."

Chu Ming also changed his tone and stopped talking about the fight and started talking about flowers and plants instead.

……

……

The Jiang family's back garden.

Lin Chen and Jiang Qing were walking in the corridor.

"Junior brother, when are you planning to go to Canglan Martial Arts Academy?" Jiang Qing originally knew that her father might not want Lin Chen to go to Canglan Martial Arts Academy with him, but after what happened today, her father would no longer object.

"I'm not sure yet. Tomorrow I will go to Huangshan in Huizhou Prefecture with my instructor. The Zhenyue Pu I am practicing is the Huang family's martial arts. The head of the Huang family asked the instructor to wait for me to finish practicing before going over there."

Lin Chen briefly recounted the Zhenyue Pu that he had practiced and what his instructor had said.

Jiang Qing blinked slightly. Junior Brother Lin was going to Huizhou Prefecture, so they couldn't go to Canglan Martial Arts Academy together.

"Zhenyuepu is the Huang family's martial arts method. The Huang family must have kept it secret, or have some tips for practicing it. This time they asked you to go to Huangshan, probably to teach you some tips for practicing Zhenyuepu."

"Yeah, that's what I thought."

"When the Huang family first gave you the Zhenyue Pu technique, they didn't tell you the secrets of practicing it. They were probably just doing a favor for the Wuzheng Hall. This time, you left your name on Wudao Mountain seven times, showing your potential. The Huang family probably wanted to win you over by letting you go again."

The best way to win over young geniuses is through marriage.

The Huang family certainly has no shortage of girls of the same age as Junior Brother Lin. Even if there aren't any in the Huang family's direct lineage, there are definitely some in the collateral lineage.

"The Patriarch of the Huang Family accepted the instructor as his disciple at that time. So I can be considered as the disciple of the Patriarch of the Huang Family. There should be no need to win him over."

Lin Chen smiled slightly. He didn't know what Jiang Qing was thinking at the moment. He just analyzed the situation.

The Huang family does not need to win me over. It is very likely that the practice secrets of Zhenyuepu may be related to Huangshan. According to what Mr. Li said at the beginning, Zhenyuepu was comprehended by the ancestors of the Huang family after more than ten years of practice in Huangshan.

"Sister, do you still remember the place where you took me to learn the Water Cloud Palm?"

Jiang Qing understood what Lin Chen meant when she heard this, and nodded slightly: "It should be that the Huang family knows that there is a special place that is helpful for the practice of Zhenyue Book. So Junior Brother Lin really needs to go to Huangshan."

After knowing the relationship between Lin Chen and the Huang family, and figuring out the Huang family's purpose in sending Lin Chen to Huangshan, Jiang Qing's worries disappeared.

"When will Senior Sister go to Canglan Martial Academy?"

"Three days later, Daddy will take me to Canglan Martial Academy."

Hearing that his future father-in-law was taking Jiang Qing to Canglan Martial Arts Academy, Lin Chen was no longer worried.

Judging from the situation in Jiangnan Road, Daliang is still very safe, not to mention that there is a middle-level strongman like my father-in-law.

The two chatted for about a quarter of an hour before a servant came to inform them that the meal was ready in the kitchen. They both followed the servant to the dining yard, feeling a little unsatisfied.

……

……

After meal.

Lin Chen and his master's wife left Jiang Mansion and returned to Shu Mansion.

They had dinner at the Shu Mansion again in the evening. What Lin Chen did not expect was that the Shu family attached great importance to him. Not only did his master's wife's father show up, but his master's wife's eldest brother and several other managers of the Shu family were all there.

The meal was naturally a great success for both the host and the guests.

In the evening, after practicing in the Shu family yard for two hours, Lin Chen returned to his room to rest.

Silent all night.

The next morning!

The morning light is dim.

Two horses drove out of Shu Mansion, out of the city, and headed southeast.

It only takes one day to travel from Raozhou Prefecture to Huizhou Prefecture, but it takes another day to travel from the border of Huizhou Prefecture to Huangshan.

There is a constant stream of people on the official road.

"Lin Chen, you have been practicing martial arts in the martial arts hall since you started, and then you went to the martial arts gym... Now you are practicing more under the system of the Wuzheng Division. I don't have much to teach you about martial arts training, but the martial arts circle is not just the Wuzheng Division system. After leaving the Wuzheng Division, there is a wider martial arts world. Today, I will teach you a lesson outside the Wuzheng Division."

Yu Yongnian recalled the losses and tricks he had suffered when he left the martial arts school. These were all valuable experiences.

Although Lin Chen has a strong talent for martial arts and may even be able to enter the rank level after graduating from the martial arts academy, some experiences are shared.

"When you are out there, you must learn to read people's expressions, especially to judge the other person's strength and background from subtle details, and try not to provoke people who are stronger than you."

Yu Yongnian slowed down his horse and said, "There are some people whose appearance you can't tell by their clothes, but you can tell them by their body shape."

Lin Chen looked like he was listening.

"Don't mess with the swordsman with a broken arm, the gunman with a beard, the woman who walks alone..."

"Why?"

"Those who use swords are usually decisive and ruthless, especially the swordsmen with broken arms. They either don't fight at all, or they fight to the death. As for the gunmen with beards, they are brave and fierce with their guns. Those with beards have amazing gun skills. As for the woman who walks alone... the fact that she can walk alone in the martial arts world has already proved her ability."

"Disciple understands."

Lin Chen nodded. What the instructor said was similar to what he had read in martial arts novels in his previous life, which mentioned several types of people that should not be provoked.

Monks, Taoist priests, widows, dwarfs, children...

If we add in the people mentioned in later novels, there’s also the blind man playing the erhu, the old man fishing, the blacksmith, the handyman… they can’t be provoked.

The surnames of Ye, Su, etc., the four major families cannot be offended...

Lin Chen had already concluded in his mind that there are three types of people in the martial arts world: one is the senior, one is the senior brother, and the other is the ant.

Those who you cannot beat are your seniors, those whose details you cannot figure out are your senior brothers, and those who you can beat are all ants. Just remember this principle.

Just when Lin Chen's thoughts were in a mess, there was suddenly a noisy sound coming from the front. Lin Chen and Master Yu Yongnian looked at each other, and saw a group of people gathered on the official road ahead. They slowed down their horses and slowly approached.
